when will you announce it?

We just found out Wednesday we are pregnant with #3. With both of our first two we announced it as soon as we found out( just over 4 weeks) this time my husband wants to wait a bit(I'm guessing bc of our 2 and 3 yr olds). I'm just curious who's had kids before and when you announced it and if you would do things the same or different and/or when you plan to announce this one. Thanks. Just eager to share the good news.

I know it's not a good idea to tell... First time pregnant and can't contain myself! But I worry... If something happens, I'll have more support, but also the pain of telling more people. How often do women mc? I hear it's pretty common.

With Olivier we announced right away, literally as soon as the line showed on the test. But we've had 2 miscarriages (very early before we even knew we were pregnant) so Jonathan wants to wait, this morning he said at least a month but just a few days ago he said 20 weeks. I have a feeling we may wait and see what the blood tests say, if my numbers double then I think we may announce, but we haven't decided yet.

My family always knew the second after I found out (this is my third baby). My close friends knew the second after family. However, I'm not big on FB or anything, so outside of that circle- people will know when I start showing. lol

With our first we told all family an close friends the day we found out. Everyone else found out at 12 weeks. This time we said we wouldn't tell anyone however my 2yo keeps shouting out about mummy having a baby lol so we decided to tell our parents, brothers and my best friend. Hoping to keep it from everyone else again until 12 weeks. It's so hard to keep quiet with such an amazing secret!

If I am we're waiting until the end of the first trimester. We had one mc before and my mom couldn't keep her mouth shut so then everyone knew about it when I even had the mc... This time around we're telling no one!!!

We are n the EXACT same boat. We are expecting #3 and with our first two (and the miscarriage I had) we announced it as soon as we found out. This time we decided to wait until we see the heartbeat (at around 8 weeks) or possibly even until 12.Maybe this is because this pregnancy was our first surprise. We are now SO excited so I do not want people to rain on my parade. I see nothing wrong with announcing it early but with this one I just want to make sure everything is fine before we announce it to the world. I told a few trusted friends but that's it so far. Not even my mom knows and we usually tell each other everything so I am feeling quite guilty...

First time, our whole family knew when we were trying. We announces to our parents the pregnancy right away and immediately family at abt 10 weeks; close friends after firat trimester; and everyone else when we knew the gender. This time, nobody knows we were trying (less pressure), & we want to keep it to ourselves for as long as possible. Just let it be something special between us. Although I am so excitex, I know it will be hard to keep it secret! I want to tell everyone!!

That's such a great question!! Im confused as well... Everyone. Close to us knows we were going through in vitro ... So when the blood test came back positive we couldn't keep it a secret . It's great that we have so much support , but I regret sharing because What if something... "changes". I literally don't know how I would survive the heartbreak, much less share the news .

With our first we told our family and a select few people and our works because I'm a server so I couldn't do heavy lifting or long shifts and he told because he's in the air force and didn't want to get deployed and miss the birth. Our second we told everyone that day but fb we were going to wait a bit on that, but it ended in miscarriage so it was horrible having to tell all those people. So this time we've told only my work, after the first ultra sound at 8 weeks we'll tell family, then about 12 weeks we'll officially announce it

We will be telling close friends and family when we see them. But not making a full pUblic announcement till after 12 weeks. This is my 6th pregnancy and the only successful one was my April 2011 baby. We need the support if things go wrong and it makes the awkward when are you going to have another baby conversation easier if they know we had a mc.

My first baby I announced it to my mum, partner and his mum at 4wks but no one else knew till 10wks....I'm pregnant with baby number 2 now and am roughly 4wks and we have told everyone already, we just couldn't contain our excitement!

With my first our parents knew we weve been TTC so we told them on Xmas eve (6 weeks). The 2nd baby I'd like to keep it quiet until the first ultrasound (9w) for our parents and family, but not sure I'll last that long. I'm waiting until at least 12w to share with everyone else. I did that last time too, unless ppl figured it out on their own.

I want to shout it off the rooftops! I am 4 weeks and so far I have only told my best friend (and my husband of course). This is baby #3 and with both of our previous babies we waited until the 12 week mark to tell anyone. I have my first doctors appointment Aug. 20th. I want to wait to tell until I hear the babies heart beat. We were thinking of announcing to our girls (ages 4 and 5) and immediate family right after, then announce to the rest of family and friends on Labor Day weekend. I hope I can keep it a secret until then!
